Picnic at Kah-nee-ta

Kah-nee-ta is known as a high desert resort and casino. The wide open spaces of Kah-Nee-Ta create a bountiful mecca for recreation. Natural hot springs pour into their pools, and the Warm Springs River follows the canyon floor to create a spectacular water world that's ideal for kayaking. Roam where the natives once did among the rugged landscape by foot or horse. The key ingredient to any vacation spot is a place that offers pleasure and relaxation. Kah-Nee-Ta provides visitors a place to enjoy the quiet and immerse themselves in a variety of activities at the same time. Whether seeking an active day in the sun playing golf, volleyball or tennis, or just relaxing with a book by the pool, visitors can choose from any array of activities offered at the resort.

It's the first time we went out as a family and I really had a blast! Seeing her so amused by nature and the world around her made me appreciate the simple pleasures of life! Having our friends share that experience with us made it even more wonderful! Thanks to the Bergman and Bleuler family for inviting us!

By the way, happy mother's day to me!!! =)
